LETTER OF THE WEEK --- LETTER A




We are using All About Reading Pre-1 for learning ABC's and Rhyming.
We are loving it!


The top printable comes directly from All About Reading Pre-1 curriculum and the alligator cut out craft I printed off Make Learning Fun. He colored, glued and pasted it together.
We are also using Handwriting Without Tears for Handwriting.

I took all the magnetic A's we had along with a few other letter magnets we had , mixed them together and gave him a magnetic board, he had to find all the A's and then put them on the magnetic board.


Stay tuned each week and see all our letter fun!

Linking this homeschool post up to Homeschool Creations and Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers this week!

    My son enjoyed letter of the week so much, he is now three and is on sight words and sounding out three letter words. He learned a lot with just one letter a week. Good program.

    This looks like a great program. I am using Handwriting without Tears for my son right now. This one that you're using looks great though. Thanks for sharing
